A lot of people are focusing on two huge factors in Zac and Michelle’s relationship, the first one being the age difference. Zac is 26 compared to Michelle’s 35, but so what? We never knew until now that Zac was into older ladies — both Vanessa Hudgens and Halston Sage are around Zac’s age — but if the gender roles were reversed, no one would even notice!

Furthermore, Michelle’s most recent, highly-publicized relationship was with model Cara Delevingne, and let’s just be honest: a lot of people are confused that she’s now dating a guy. However, it’s not all that confusing.

Michelle has been on the record many times stating that she’s bisexual, and we commend Michelle for her propensity toward younger paramours with strong brows! After all, Cara is just 21 years old — Michelle is kiiind of a cougar and we are loving that about her.

These two have been on vacation together since June 28, and no one really wanted to believe they were a couple until they were caught in the act on July 5 on Italian entrepreneur Gianluca Vacchi‘s yacht — but why not? They make a hot couple!

Michelle and Zac need to just focus on themselves and avoid the attention, scrutiny, and inevitable judgment that comes from being a slightly unconventional new couple.
